Tips & Counters
This is the hard-side (outside-facing) cost. Get to the soft side — inside a doorway, through a window — and it takes roughly 34% less: the interior face takes more damage per hit, so fewer charges break it.
Going straight for the auto turret is usually cheaper than opening a full wall, if you can reach it without breaking anything else first — that's the whole appeal of a TC snipe.
Incendiary Rocket is both the cheapest option here and the fastest to place — there's no real speed/cost tradeoff on this target.
